| The official website for the Beastars anime series revealed two new cast members for the show's second season on Friday. The anime is set to premiere in 2021 on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block. Shinichi Matsumi (Houseki no Kuni episode director) made his directorial debut with the first season at animation studio Orange. Nanami Higuchi (Little Witch Academia (TV)) was in charge of the script composition, alongside Nao Ootsu (Youjo Senki weapon design) as the character designer, and Eiji Inomoto (Shuumatsu no Izetta) serving as the chief CG director. Satoru Kousaki (Fate/Extra: Last Encore) composed the music. After the show's exclusive release in Japan in October last year, Netflix released it internationally on March 13. Beastars adapts Paru Itagaki's psychological drama manga, which has been serialized in Shounen Champion since September 2016. Akita Shoten published the 17th volume on January 8, with the 18th volume planned for release on April 8. VIZ Media published the fifth volume in English on Tuesday. Source: Comic Natalie |

| Looking forward to this ~ 2021 is a long way to go but if the quality will be just as good as that of the 1st season, if not better, I'll totally take it! |

| Oh I see how it is. Beastars gets a second season yet land of the lustrous doesn't, which has a better score and more overall members. |

It makes sense to produce a Season 2 to a show which has more entries and/or has better ratings. That's what traditional TV has done for decades, so I can't see why anime studios should be any different. Expect the studio to be aware of MAL? I'd hope so. |

That's what traditional TV has done for decades, so I can't see why anime studios should be any different. Orange probably is just waiting for the manga to be completed and then they do a full adaptation. I remember that back when the show aired there's not too much left to be adapted that they could finish 1-cour without the biggest cliffhanger (or saddest cliffhanger) possible. |
| Yeah, that had crossed my mind. They could easily "announce" a season 2, as I'd imagine it would take a few years to actually produce it. Unless the show was just meant to boost the manga sales ultimately. |

| You can't know how did this fare in Japan. You might do some research on it and then share it with us here, but literally nobody gives a crap about "MAL score and overall members". And studios mainly care about how many blu-rays/DVDs/merchandise they managed to sold, not about how many pirates watched their anime, noted it on some random website and how did those people rate it...[/quote] That's very true, I've heard merch is the biggest profit vector for studios, but I'd counter-argue that anime is no longer a "Japan" thing, and international scores/reception should be given weight. More so, if you want to build a larger global audience. Why do you think people pirate so much anime? I believe it's because "official" quality releases such as on Blu-Ray cost an arm and a leg. Thank goodness for services such as Crunchyroll, else more people would either pirate or just not watch it, period. I would expect they'd sell a decent amount of discs if they actually shipped reasonably priced sub/dub copies. |

Bro we don't even know if the studio is in the production committee, most studios don't have the luxury of picking what shows they're working on let alone decide what shows get sequels or not. |

Not all studios have the luxury to choose what to work next. |
